Full Details

Posting perfume to Chile is customs-permitted but carrier-constrained: fragrance alcohol is a Class 3 dangerous-goods limited quantity, so many national posts refuse or cap air-mail perfume, and couriers require limited-quantity packaging. On the customs side Servicio Nacional de Aduanas treats it as an ordinary parcel: an accurate CN22/CN23 declaration is required, import VAT/GST at 19% applies above the exemption threshold, plus duty on above-threshold consignments. Personal-import parcels under USD 30 duty-free; above attracts 6% customs duty + 19% IVA. Chile has bilateral FTAs with US, EU, China, etc.; preferential rates for qualifying goods.

PRACTICAL ADVICE

Confirm the carrier accepts perfume before shipping to Chile — postal refusal is more common than a customs problem. Declare contents accurately on the CN22/CN23; 'gift' mislabelling does not remove import charges and flags the parcel.
